Well I recently won a flash giveaway, and received a generous prize of 2 Buck knives. Thanks CHNeal! The rules were that I keep one and give one away, which is great because I was planning to do a GAW anyway. I have seen and received so much goodwill and generosity here on the Porch. I have my Gold membership here because of a giveaway and I got to give a boy scout knife to my nephew (even though I lost that giveaway!). This is an awesome place, with awesome members.
I will be giving away a very nice 1986 vintage Buck 303 Stockman (you can thank CHNeal). I will also be giving away an Opinel number 8 that I have customized a bit. I file worked the spine a little and stained, burned, sanded etc. the handle. It also has a leather slip, and lanyard in the lanyard hole I made to help it out of the slip. I will probably add some other goodies to the pot too.
So the rules are simple, just post an "I'm in" and say what knife you're carrying right then. I wont require pictures, because I wasn't always a Gold member and I know what a pain it is to post pics as a new forum member. If you want to post a picture, I would enjoy it though! :) Also I would ask that you be a regular forum member, not someone trying to get a free knife to sell or whatever. Nobody likes a flipper.:mad: New people can enter, you don't need a certain number of posts. By the way, I can't do international shipping (I am in the US). I will draw the winner from a hat on Thursday so I can send the prizes off on Friday.
Thank you all for being good to each other and to me, lets pay it forward! :)GAW.jpg
 
Great GAW. This is not an entry, because I have enjoyed a lot of good fortune in this forum lately, and because I already have a handful of Opinels suitably modified for pocket carry. Better it should go to somebody who hasn’t yet had the pleasure.

The photo is my stock photo of the contents of my RFP. It was taken about a year and a half ago, and it is still good today.

I’d love to jump in. I won a 303 from Clay for my son Sam. I’d love to get a twin for my other son Joseph. Thanks for the generosity! I was wielding the Pioneer in beer mode this evening.

1986 is a good year. Since its the year I was born I'm in on this one. Thanks for running this GAW, currently I'm carrying one of my favorite knives my GEC 35. Did my best to post a photo but looks like I'm failing.

CVamberbonehead CVamberbonehead i received the prize package today and I wanted to thank you again. The Buck Stockman is only my 2nd stockman knife to date, if I would have gotten this earlier I would have more of this pattern, awesome knife. I love the subtle changes that you made to the Opinel and very nice sheath. Both will get their share of pocket time.
